• “A black star appears, a point of darkness in the night sky's clarity. Point of darkness and gateway to repose. Reach out, pierce the fine fabric of the sheltering sky, take repose.”
• “Africa was a big place and would offer its own suggestions”
• “For God's sake, sit down. You look like a Calvinist rector telling his flock about Hell.”
